Opis

Explores the Judaic turn in contemporary Israeli filmmaking for what it can tell us about Israel's cultural landscape, as well as about the cinematic medium in general. Judaic-themed Israeli cinema emerges as a crucial example of how film's particular form of 'magic' may be exploited for the purpose of affecting mystical states in the audience.
